ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Carolina Hurricanes are expected to turn back to Frederik Andersen between the pipes on Wednesday when they face the Minnesota Wild.
It would be the 11th appearance of the campaign for the 36-year-old, who took an overtime loss to Edmonton on Saturday in his last time out.
On the blue line, Jalen Chatfield will not play tonight, but remains close to a return. He worked with rookie Domenick Fensore at morning skate as the extra pair, meaning the team will keep the same group of six who played a key role in Monday’s win in Boston.
No changes are expected to the forward group, as Jesperi Kotkaniemi remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
